The Egyptians Read Carefully after Death.

They read the book: Prt M Hrw. It sounds strange because it's old. Today it is pronounced something like this: peret em heru. The best-preserved specimen, exactly 9.70 meters long, was found in the tomb (KV46) of Juj and his wife Tuju in the Valley of the Kings in 1905. What has changed since then? Everything, but the most important things and the little things are the same. Juju, the priest of the god Min from Ahmin, if he read, did it by scrolling the text with a gesture similar to us by leaning over the smartphone. This Egyptian from the 18th Dynasty, like modern teenagers, did not imagine that the text could be flipped. There were no sheets or codes yet. Reality, as today, seemed to be one continuous band of events: flow, a stroke of tacted rhythm of days and nights. The title of the book is: On leaving in the day [Nw (Masculine plural of Nj (“Of”) + Prt (Infinitive of Prj (“To come forth”) + M (“In, during”) + HRW (“Day”); Going out in Daylight]. And this is unchanged. After 60, this is how more and more things are done: for vacation, for the day. Man already knows very well that sooner or later the darkness will thicken, change and suddenly it will be too late. You read anything, but without haste, for the sake of the action, not because we don't guess the ending. We don't know if Jeju lived to 60, but it doesn't matter. Egyptians began to read for good after death. They then read carefully, they read everything that was written to them on the bandages wrapping them. These were invaluable tips on how to outwit demonic guards, avoid traps, not get lost and reach the place of eternal happiness on the Field of Reeds (Jaru). To laze there, in the cold by the river, sipping beer for "a million million years". Yes, after 60 we are looking for such readings. It is a pity that somewhere between the 14th century before the century and our 21st century, the habit of reading after death was lost. It would be worth returning to it. Especially since both then and now, at this age, everyone knows that real life begins and goes on in the dark, and yet we have pleasant moments.

5inLodz asked Jeju to donate 5 meters of its most important papyri. We are waiting for an answer, there is no hurry, we will make it peret em heru.
